Play video games or be dumb!

Those are your only 2 choices 😂

@bridgemindai This is far from truth. I use the $200 max plan and run multi CLI sessions for hours

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@theo @tenobrus True

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

Great news!

[Claude @claudeai]

We're extending access to Claude Fable 5 on all paid plans through July 12.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@kimmonismus Yes it is!

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

Fable 5 is finally back!

25 minutes in, still no fallback to Opus 4.8.

Tokens are burning fast though 🚀

So far, so good.

Fable 5 is back.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

Finally. It was about time 👏

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.

We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

After today’s Sonnet 5 release, I really hope Fable 5 is back tonight…

Sonnet 5 felt underwhelming — more like a Sonnet 4.8 than a true “5” leap.

Fingers crossed 🤞

🚨 NEWS: Commerce is expected to lift export controls on Fable tonight, a senior White House official tells me.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

Alright Sonnet 5, let’s see what you’ve got.

#Claude #Sonnet5 #AI

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5, our most agentic Sonnet yet.

It makes plans, uses tools like browsers and terminals, and runs autonomously at a level that just a few months ago required larger and more expensive models.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@AnthropicAI Not the update we were hoping for after 15 days…

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@DavidOndrej1 Welcome to the AI Middle Ages.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@theo You might be giving Dario too much credit.
If there’s any 5D chess being played here, it’s probably by Fable itself! But AI development won’t slow down. The genie is already out of the bottle.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

Getting Fable 5 back is not looking great…

But the bigger issue is what this could mean more broadly. If access to a hosted AI model can suddenly be treated like an export-controlled product, then every frontier lab — and every enterprise customer depending on them — now has a much bigger political-risk problem to think about...

[Sophia Cai @SophiaCai99]

🚨The first legal challenge to Trump’s export controls is out. The legal tech company Legion is suing the Trump admin, arguing:

- The gov lacked legal authority to force Anthropic to shut off Fable 5 and Mythos 5 because export-control laws do not cover access to a hosted AI model or its text outputs
- If Trump’s move relied on IEEPA emergency powers, it violated statutory limits including protections for informational materials. And a national-emergency was not declared
- The directive was arbitrary, overbroad, and potentially retaliatory toward Anthropic
- And it contradicts Trump’s own June 2 EO that explicitly rejected mandatory government licensing or preclearance of frontier AI models

@jun_song Also, Sonnet 5 is coming (probably sooner than Fable 5).

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@robinebers It seems though that will get Sonnet 5 before Fable 5…

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@emanueledpt @AnthropicAI Feels like Sonnet 5 might be closer than Fable coming back...

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@theo 10 days later, I’m not very optimistic Fable 5 will be back before Sonnet 5. Probably explains why they’re speeding up the release.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@mark_k The pre-ban Fable 5, no. Though we don’t know what Fable we will get when it will be back.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@robinebers Korea Times covered the same event and says Anthropic declined to comment on the shutdown/export-control issue. I also haven’t seen the “coming days” claim confirmed by any other legit source or Anthropic itself. Hope it’s true 🤞 but worth taking with a grain of salt.

[Nikos Vougioukas @vougioni]

@Polymarket Looks more like a marketing stunt that went wrong.
